I've worked at Costco for 18 years. From plant-based chicken nuggets to kimbap, here are 8 of the best vegetarian meals to get there.

• I'm a Costco employee who sometimes buys vegetarian items for my family of four to enjoy.
• Costco's grain-and-celery salad with apple-cider vinaigrette is full of tasty vegetables.
• I get the Don Lee Farms organic chipotle black-bean burger patties for a hearty lunch or dinner.

I've worked at Costco for 18 years, so I'm very familiar with the store's ready-to-eat meals and frozen dinners. And though I'm not a vegetarian myself, I sometimes like to buy some meatless meals for my family of four.
